Actress Javeria Saud has spoken out against Saba Qamar’s recent remarks about Karachi, defending the city in the process.

Saba Qamar caused a stir online after a video of her saying “Astaghfirullah” (God forbid) in response to a question about moving to Karachi went viral. The comment quickly attracted strong reactions from the public.

In her reply, Javeria Saud clarified, “Karachi is not dirty; the real issue is the mindset of those who call it dirty.” She emphasized that every part of Pakistan holds value and pride, stating, “We should respect all cities in our country.”

As a Karachi resident, Javeria added that portraying the city negatively is unfair.

The public’s reaction has been mixed. Some users criticized Saba Qamar’s comment, while others defended her right to voice her opinion. One user commented, “I was born in Karachi, but the city is becoming dirtier,” while another suggested, “We need better governance for the city to improve.”

The debate continues, reflecting the city’s challenges and the pride of its residents.
